I have been doing a lot of reading lately as I prepare to have a pond built on my farm later this summer. At this point I intend to build and place some "PVC trees" in the pond before it fills, for added structure.

Somewhere, I read a comment that one should not use white PVC as it is not a natural color underwater and fish would avoid it so as not to silhouette themselves, etc. Is this something that is a concern that I should take into account in the opinion of the experienced people here?

What I was intending to do would include using white PVC for the horizontal "branches". But I could switch to gray electrical plastic conduit if the white is a bad idea. Thoughts, ideas, comments are welcome. TIA.
